Sorry but i'm a One Piece fan. Naruto I have the first 2 box sets of but have not finished watching them yet. I came on this forum wondering if I should pick up future volumes of Naruto and Naruto SHippuden and what is so good about the Naruto series? Also when does Naruto get interesting after what episode? Again I have the first 2 box sets. Thanks

Assuming you've made it through the Land of Waves Arc (ep 6-19), the answer is likely it isn't your thing. I was hooked after the first episode. I feel that the Land of Waves Arc is a good sample of the Naruto Show. IMO Naruto is as much of a tragedy as it is an action show. If you have the Shippuden box sets I think you really should start with the original Naruto, but from your wording I doubt that's the case.

it kinda bother me if they hate it based on crap reason. i've come across reasons like childish characters design, or too boring because there is only one theme through the story, etc. it's really a pity because naruto have great storyline, although there are occasional boring episodes.

Whenever something is popular there are always going to be super vocal haters.

I watched almost all of the Naruto episodes but haven't watched any Shippuden. I do plan on rewatching all the earlier stuff and Shippuden. I have watched a couple episodes of Shippuden and so I can see why some of the filler episodes annoy people. But when it comes down to it I really like it and while I'm free to enjoy it others are free to not like it and/or consider it a horrible anime.

Umm, all the people that hate Naruto, or any anime in general, should simply not bother to watch it in the first place. I mean, if you don't like it, then why do you watch it?? Just my opinion, I guess...
